The Beautiful Game (The All Inclusive Soccer Thread)

[Electromatic]

Swiss-Serbia might have been the best match of the WC so far.

Of course I only see the 1st half dang it.

[verb_to_trust]

Does everyone on Mexico have a stupid nickname?

[E.H. Ruddock]

So I was just wondering about the 2026 WC and how they'll handle the automatic bid with 3 countries hosting. But then I saw the field is expanding to 48. Wtf? That's stupid

[verb_to_trust]

Yeah, watering down and ruining the greatest sporting event in the world is totally worth a few extra bucks for FIFA.

[verb_to_trust]

What's the point of VAR if they still aren't going to get calls right.

[LetMeSleep]

Absolutely verb.

1-0 now. wow

[verb_to_trust]

Incredible free kick

[epilogue]

That was a hell of a game.

[LetMeSleep]

Yes it was. And it was a penalty too.

Sweden will feel hard done by even though they themselves brought on the pressure of the last thirty mins.

[verb_to_trust]

The way Sweden played a man up cancels out the blown call for me.

[daft twat]

5-0 at halftime! Wow!

[bada]

I like that Japan squad. They can take a punch.

[E.H. Ruddock]

They just showed a Polish fan I'd like to marry

[Jorge]

Go Colombia go

[Ello Sailor]

Have you disowned Argentina's soccer team, Jorge?

[Jorge]

Have you disowned Argentina's soccer team, Jorge?

Nah... I like having two teams to cheer for, even though they're both in not-great spots right now

[96583UP]

Senegal FTW!

[Ello Sailor]

Fuck yeah, Senegal. I have fond memories of seeing them beat France 1-0 in the opening game of the '02 World Cup.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Beautiful goal by Quaresma

[verb_to_trust]

This world cup is batshit
